21.7 Legacy Series / Indicator of compromise? Abnormal DNS requests...
« on: August 31, 2021, 09:57:22 pm »
I have enabled the DNS logging in unbound and I see requests that I would normaly assign to an IOC:

I've some questions:

Notes
- No client has requested these addresses.
- 10.10.10.254 = OpnSense LAN Interface
- kaki = local domain (intranet) eg. server01.kaki
- Only OpenVPN is offered via the WAN interface. No other ports have been opened on the WAN interface so far.
- Only the following packages differ from the default installation:
- os-etpro-telemetry (installed)
- os-sensei (installed)
- os-sunnyvalley (installed)
I've some questions:
- Why does OpnSense use its LAN address for internal / its own DNS queries?
---> I also see other requests from OpnSense with 127.0.0.1, so why is it using 10.10.10.254? - What damn package or function is trying to resolve these domains here?
- If it is a client, he must have spoofed the firewall LAN IP... but then... why does he ask for the domains without TLD?
